I have a 2013 LCI M5 with 62k on the clock. The car has been faultless since new apart from a few months ago the car went into limp home mode and subsequently some of the vanos needed replacing. The same thing has happened again today but this time the car could just about make it back home with blue smoke pouring out the back. I'm a bit worried as the warranty only has a few weeks left on it.

Has anyone else had similiar issues?

Thanks

Luckily I called BMW emergency line and they collected the car within an hour. I picked up a loan car 30 mins later. Can't fault the aftercare!

Just waiting for the call Monday from the dealer! My main concern is fixing the fault first time, while the warranty is still valid.

Fingers crossed.....
